Fill Your Sleigh: Buy Small, Buy Local

This year there have been a lot of changes and hardships worldwide due to COVID-19. With states shutting down weeks on end due to COVID-19 cases increasing, businesses are continuing to feel the affects the pandemic has had on their sales. Small business owners have had it especially tough this year with these closures. Many small businesses are unfortunately having to close their doors. Scale Strategic Solutions prides itself on being a small, women owned minority business in Cincinnati. Through the pandemic Scale has been very thankful and fortunate to have had steady business throughout the year. With the holidays in our midst, think about shopping with and supporting small businesses. While holiday gift giving provides a special opportunity for purchases, we hope that people will continue the habit of buying small and local and supporting shops owned by women and black, indigenous, and people of color.
